Just like that, two girls were hurt at the same time in one night, which made me very puzzled. I hardly slept that night. I felt guilty towards Yunwen, so I didn't dare to touch her or wake her up. So I kept watch by myself and waited until daytime.
After they all woke up, I yawned, tidied up the things on the ground, wrapped them all in the cashmere quilt, and took a lot of shrimp meat. I took advantage of the fact that the meat had not yet spoiled and the resources could not be wasted. However, I could not take too much, so I cut out four large pieces, wrapped them tightly in the quilt, and took them back.
I was carrying this bunch of stuff and was basically the last one to come along, while Yunwen deliberately walked in the front to lead the way. She was angry with me all the way and would rather talk to Yingchun and Bailu than to say a word to me. I was tired and didn't want to cause any more trouble, so I just followed her without saying anything.
We walked back along a long and narrow black road. I don't know how long we walked. I didn't bother to count. It felt like a century. When we reached the end, we came to the area where rocks were collected to make millstones. Then we walked further and arrived at the old house of Huoquan. The girls stayed there for a long time, talking about the past and wasting quite a while.
During this time, Yunwen looked back at me. I smiled at her, but she seemed not to see it and turned her head away coldly.
But after a while, we set off again, passed the old house and arrived at the tall tree forest area. There was a road sign I made specially here, and they followed it and soon found the elevator back to the tunnel. After we sat on it, we pulled the iron pestle and the elevator took us back to the tunnel. After walking through the tunnel, there was a ladder at the exit at the end. The girls climbed up first, and then helped me carry a bag of things up, and then I was able to climb up one after another.
After returning to the yard of the post station, Yunwen turned around and went to feed grass to Sanfu. I was responsible for carrying the things back to the house and sat down to rest. Yingchun went back to the room upstairs first, leaving only Bailu and I in the room.
I didn't dare look at her, otherwise I would fall into the spell-like longing again, and then I would feel that I would be sorry for Yunwen again.
"Did you cast a curse on me?" I asked Bai Lu.
I couldn't see Bai Lu's expression, but this question was indeed a bit abrupt and she didn't respond for a long time.
"Brother Zhou Bo, I studied medicine, not witchcraft. Is there any misunderstanding? Why are you asking me whether I have put a curse on you?" Bai Lu asked.
"Don't those eyes of yours work magic?" I asked.
Bai Lu approached me, her footsteps were endless. I shuddered immediately and tried to avoid her even more. Because I was tall, even if I lowered my head and she looked up, I could still see her eyes clearly. All my mental defenses collapsed in an instant, and my face turned red. I had been thinking about her all night, and when I saw her again, I was completely attracted to her and couldn't move away for a moment. My eyes sank into her, as if I had fallen into an abyss and couldn't extricate myself.
She was not angry, but looked at me with a charming smile and said, "As a doctor, I will diagnose you. When you saw me, you were focused, blushing, your ears were red, and your heartbeat was accelerated. This is not a witchcraft, but you are completely fascinated by me, fascinated by me, and you really want me to fulfill my promise, right?"
I tried to lower my head, even though hundreds of voices in my heart told me not to do that and to cherish the present.
"No, that's not the case." I quickly denied.
"Going against your own heart will never bring good things. Don't feel like you're letting anyone down. It's up to you to decide what you want. I won't forget what I promised you, but you want us to be husband and wife, at least. Then we can be legitimate and do what you want. Then I will have no reason to refuse you. What do you think?" Bai Lu hooked my chin and said teasingly, full of pride.
I increasingly felt that she had bewitched me, or that some kind of witchcraft was bewitching me, but my body was simply unwilling to listen to this information. It was as if an invisible hand was controlling me, not letting me resist or refuse. I didn't know if this was me.
Unconsciously, I held Bai Lu's hand and held her in my arms eagerly. I breathed hard, and couldn't wait to possess her. I hugged her more and more hungrily. Bai Lu put her hand on me, and her eyes were like a trainer looking at a wild beast he had just tamed. She put her face close to my ear and whispered, "Tell me, are you willing? Marry me and Yingchun."
I wanted to push her away, but it didn't work. The conscious mind cannot compete with the subconscious mind, or the soul cannot compete with the surging desire in the body. I was always at a disadvantage.
"Then, what about Yunwen?" I asked.
"This is your own problem. Do you want my body or hers? If it's mine, then you have to agree to marry me and Yingchun. If it's hers..." Bai Lu pushed me away and said, "Go find her. This is fair, isn't it?"
I couldn't control myself and once again took the initiative to run over and hug her. Only in this way could the fire in my heart not be so burning and my body feel a little more comfortable. At this time, she also hugged me tightly, put her arms around my waist, and put her face against me, trying to do what I wanted.
What is going on here?
I felt a burning gaze coming from behind me. Although I was not conscious now, I still remembered that there was the gate behind me. If there was someone watching me, it would not be someone else. After all, there was only one person feeding the horses outside just now, and that was Yunwen.
"Yunwen?" I was sweating all over and finally came to my senses. I pushed Bailu away and turned around. Yunwen was looking at me coldly. At the same time, there was movement on the stairs. I guess Yingchun had been watching for a long time.
I walked towards Yunwen and said, "It's not what you think. It's not what you think. I just..."
Would anyone believe me if I said I couldn't control myself? Moreover, why couldn't I control myself just now, but I can now?
"Sister Bailu, do you know witchcraft? Did you give him any medicine, like Hehuan Powder or something like that?" Yunwen asked.
"What a joke, there is no purple flower as the main medicine here, so I can't make any Yin Yang He Huan San even if I want to. As for poisoning, I have to raise the poison first, but have you seen me raising insects? I am a doctor, not a witch, don't get me wrong." Bai Lu replied.
"Zhou Bo, did you hear it clearly?" Yunwen asked.
I had no way to defend myself and could only sigh.
Yunwen sneered at me and was about to go upstairs. I held her hand and wanted to explain again, but she struggled to shake it off and slapped me on the face. Tears welled up in her eyes and she said, "Zhou Bo, I have no right to interfere with you in whatever you want to do, but you did it and didn't admit it, and you wanted to shirk the blame. In addition, you planned to continue lying to me last night. I can't accept this. What do you think of me? A fool?"
After saying that, she looked at me for a long time. I wanted to keep her, but my hands couldn't touch her. She avoided me and no longer listened to my explanation. I had nothing to say and couldn't explain more.
"I heard it all clearly, you dirty bastard." Yingchun came down the stairs and supported Yunwen. The two of them unexpectedly formed an alliance and then went upstairs together. Yunwen could be vaguely heard sobbing, so disappointed and sad.
I turned my head helplessly, only to see Bai Lu looking at me with contempt, saying, "If you want it, then take it. If you don't want it, then don't take it. Why did you tell them? Why did you deny what you wanted to do? Didn't you want my body and take the initiative to hug me? Is it my fault? A real man should be brave and responsible, not shrinking like this. Okay, think about getting married carefully, and then come to me. Don't touch my body again, or it will seem like I seduced you."
After saying that, Bai Lu pushed me away and went upstairs. The first floor of the house became quiet. I was the only one left here, at a loss as to what to do.
I suddenly remembered the night when I killed the Sea Monster. When I was watching from the sea, I felt that everything was not an end, but a beginning. I could only smile bitterly and cover my face with a sigh.
